New Methods to Clear Storage and Clean House

Score + 15
Hiya! I'm a long time DM on this website and I've been thinking for a while on things that can maybe help improve the program. But honestly, my main thing I keep running into is because of my long time here, I've genuinely run out of storage space and it's a hassle to clear stuff out from earlier campaigns. Because once you scroll far enough, things start to lag, and it just makes everything a hassle. So, I was wondering how other people would feel about being able to sort your uploads/recent uploads by size, and maybe even by last updated. So that you can really clear out a large section of your uploads without too much hassle. As someone who is a pro-subscriber, I was not the best in the past about my storage space, so it's difficult to really clear up now, and I think it might be a really useful tool for a lot of people!  I don't think it should be that hard to code, seeing as you can easily do these things on a computer's files, so it would be really nice to see this implemented to help out the community with their storage space, and really make it a lot easier overall for folks. I really enjoy this service, and it allows me to run games for a group of people all across the states. So, a bit more ease of use would be amazing.  I really think this is important, as it will allow a lot of people to deal with storage problems quickly and effectively.
+1. This is a problem that more and more people are running into over time. There needs to be a way to easily see what assets are already in use (as a map, as a token, avatar, etc), and which are not. The 'not' ones being the ones we'd want to clear out, of course.
Yes, being able to see whether and where/how something is in use would be good so I don't accidentally delete token images again

I totally agree with this. It sounds like a perfect way to really hammer out our storage space, and not make it needed to try and make an alternate account or anything like that to start loading storage on.

Being able to sort what's in use and also by size or time it was posted would be amazing.
Absolutely must be able to see what is in use and where. Should be a filter for each game you have assets linked to, and filter for assets with no game links. When something is deleted from a specific game's filter it should be removed only from that game, not other games its linked to. Should be able to select all to delete after applying filters so you can clear out all assets not linked to games, or all assets linked exclusively to a specific game.
